flustered.

this week has me going this way and that.  in result i'm all flustered and stressed.  luckily for me i have work off today and i'm going to go enjoy something that i love.  i'm going to play with dogs!  something about  a dog that takes all the stress away and calms me down. 

do you spend time with a pooch to de-stress or do you have a different master plan?  i would love to hear your thoughts.

work in progress.

if you've been reading my blog you'll know i've hinted on zumba.  i haven't taken many classes but what i have i LOVE it.  so addicting, and no joke, i'm sore in places i didn't know could be sore.  i've also learned to shake my booty!  ha.  well it's still a work in progress but i look a little less awkward.  a great benefit (besides being able to shake my booty) is that my jeans are fitting a little better.  dead serious. 

i went home this weekend and just for fun (well more procrastinating on cleaning) tried on my old cheerleading outfit.  IT FIT!!  people...it was from junior high.  that's 5+ years ago.  i was in shock.  i give it all to zumba...and walking up a pain in the butt hill everyday.  anyways.  i am suggesting you try zumba.  just go try it and laugh.  i guarantee you'll have a good time.

p.s. this song is on repeat.

lost. and. crazy.

this week has been super duper busy.  i can't believe it's friday.  the only reason i know is because my laundry has piled up and i have nothing cute to wear for tomorrow.  awesome.  and amongst the pile somewhere is my brain.  cool.  i've seemed to have lost it over the past few days and i kinda need it.   it's gone.   i mean it.  for example...those moments that happen when n you just did something but you can't remember you did it, or when you put something away (in my purse) but frantically search everywhere else for it (but the purse).  it's a day-to-day activity for me and it's starting to get old.  real old.

BUT alas it is the weekend.  that is music to my ears.  hallelujah. 

anything fun planned for you?  i'm FINALLY going to see crazy stupid love.  hello ryan gosling.

p.s.  i babysat a piglet two days ago.  picture soon to come!

dirty secret.

i have this disorder...i hoard magazines.  i love them!  i can't help it.  i collect all that i can get my hands on.  i'll flip through them page-by-page countless of times.  i'll rip out pages (mostly inspirational outfits but also the attractive men) until my cork is covered.  i even make sure i always have the latest in my bag for lunch breaks.  the girls at work love me because of this.

what is it about them that is so intriguing?  does anyone else have this or do i really have some kind of obsessive habit?  ha.

autumn.

dear mr. weather,  while i enjoy that you are prolonging summer and keeping this week in the 80's i would prefer if you cooled down.  i would love to start wearing my boots, tights, scarves and cute jackets without looking like i'm crazy.  the sooner, the better.  sincerely, me
